Is decentralized storage a fad? I don't think so. Crypto hype around decentralized storage certainly cooled after 2021, but the underlying need hasn't disappeared. The biggest weakness of decentralized storage ... isn't technology. It's developer experience. The decentralization should disappear behind excellent UX. AWS succeeds because developers can deploy something in minutes. If decentralized storage requires understanding wallets, tokens, retrieval markets, and network mechanics, mainstream companies won't adopt it. Crypto hype around decentralized storage certainly cooled after 2021, but the underlying need hasn't disappeared. Many infrastructure technologies take 15–25 years to become mainstream. People forget: - cloud computing seemed niche in the mid-2000s - containers took years to become standard - Kubernetes looked overcomplicated before it became ubiquitous - Git was once considered difficult There's still a time for decentralized storage like Filecoin to win slowly.

Pretty interesting development — maybe personal websites and blogs can have comeback without social networks tax 🤓 https://x.com/cloudflare/status/2072311802285723953?s=46&t=vGdL6gMJv0qcvymUV8209g

I don’t think there’s anything anyone can say right now which would make anyone owning crypto feel better ❤️‍🩹 It’s heartbreaking to see how weak crypto legs still are … I mean we all kept saying - most will go to zero - but it’s one thing to say it and another to see it 😂

Just remember: Nominal prices of everything in US Dollars should and will go up! 🚨 - there is a monetary explosion coming under the next Fed Chair selected by Trump. - the world is going to slowly unwind from dollars because of the way Trump is behaving, and the dollar is going to slowly slide. Check it's chart agains CHF (and get yourself some $ZCHF) There is no going back from this, so other major currencies will probably strengthen in a short to mid-term. What it means is - that it's going to look like a top for the stock market because obviously the companies are still valuable, they still produce profits, and they still make a lot of money. Oftentimes, revenues are in different currencies. Anyway, it's that simple for 2026 in my eyes 🙁

I’m sorry 😢 but these two positions should represent directional frame for thinking about investments for everyone in 2026 🥶
